Spring Break 2011

My spring break took place in two different places. From Friday to Wednesday I spent spring break with my girlfriend Brittany, her family  and some of my family in Houston. While there we went to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and saw the artists Gary Allan, Kid Rock, & KISS perform on separate nights. I really enjoyed this part of the trip because I got to spend more time with Brittany due to the fact that she works now and I’m still in school, unfortunately she had to get back to work so we couldn’t spend the entire week of spring break together.

Ready for the hunt

On Wednesday I headed to South Texas to my family’s ranch with my cousin Kyle and my girlfriend’s brother Bailey to stay until Sunday. While at the ranch, our everyday activities consisted of just hunting and fishing. It was nice to get away from the fast pace of everyday life and enjoy the beautiful, warm & sunny weather of South Texas. At the end of the trip, our total animal count was thirty-three feral hogs and five rattlesnakes, all in excess of five feet in length. This spring break sits near the top of my list as one of the best spring breaks I’ve ever had, although it was bittersweet as this was my last spring break, but I have to say that I’m happy that my last spring break turned out to be a great one.
